Research
In my opinion, research begins with strong curiosity about a research topic. The topic of the research may be either the one that had been researched before or new topic. Apart from that, motivation is needed in order to complete the research as we may face obstacles during the journey and also because doing a research may consume a lot of time. “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” Researchers may use various methods to search and gather data. In the end of the research, a well-written report must be produced as a result of research. In the report, it must be consist of sufficient details and provide evidences that allow readers understand better and can use it for references.
Along the journey of research, we can develop technical skills such as critical thinking, analytical skills, and time management skills. Through research, we can observe and thus describe what is happening. From observation, we can determine the causes and we get to explain the reason behind it as everything happens for a reason.
The first step to start a research is by defining the research problem. The problem must be identified so that we know what are we going to search for. Next, review the literature is a must in order to aid in the research. The literature can be review as to understand the concepts and theories and review the previous research finding. From there, hypotheses can be formulate. After that, design the research which can be categorized into descriptive, correlational, quasi-experimental and experimental research. Then, data are collected and analyzed. Lastly, the data is interpreted and a complete report about the research can be written.
Qualities and ethics that must have in a researcher are high curiosity, honesty, hardworking, intergrity and systematic. In fact, researches must persistent in doing their research.
